WHAT DOES NUCLEAR PHYSICS MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Nuclear physics

Nuclear physics is the field of physics that studies the constituents and interactions of atomic nuclei. The most commonly known applications of nuclear physics are nuclear power generation and nuclear weapons technology, but the research has provided application in many fields, including those in nuclear medicine and magnetic resonance imaging, ion implantation in materials engineering, and radiocarbon dating in geology and archaeology. The field of particle physics evolved out of nuclear physics and is typically taught in close association with nuclear physics.

Definition of nuclear physics in the English dictionary

The definition of nuclear physics in the dictionary is the branch of physics concerned with the structure and behaviour of the nucleus and the particles of which it consists.

8 QUOTES WITH «NUCLEAR PHYSICS»

Famous quotes and sentences with the word nuclear physics.
1
Walther Bothe
Many applications of the coincidence method will therefore be found in the large field of nuclear physics, and we can say without exaggeration that the method is one of the essential tools of the modern nuclear physicist.
2
John Cameron
Nuclear physics is interesting but it is unlikely to help society.
3
John Cameron
When I entered medical physics in 1958 there were fewer than 100 in the U.S. and I could see many opportunities to apply my knowledge of nuclear physics.
4
John Henry Carver
Although important nuclear physics work was to go on in laboratories such as ours had become - and we had to cut down to a lower energy group - it was not fundamentally opening up new insights on the structure of matter. That required you to be in a higher league.
5
James Cronin
I did a thesis in experimental nuclear physics under the direction of Samuel K. Allison.
6
Joe Greene
If you're talking about nuclear physics, I have to defer to the next guy. But if you're talking about football, I don't have to take a back seat to anyone.
7
Walter Kohn
Originally I had planned to revert to nuclear physics there, in particular the structure of the deuteron.
8
Andrei Sakharov
In 1947 I defended my thesis on nuclear physics, and in 1948 I was included in a group of research scientists whose task was to develop nuclear weapons.
